.............................................................the blessings of life

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

On Sunday we were honored to watch Jill and Bryce dedicate baby Karson to the Lord. It was precious. Kaden slept through a good portion of it,but woke up in a wonderful mood! (THANK GOD!) Kamden heard them say in the beginning that there would be refreshments served afterwards and he was ALL about that!! Karson was full of smiles and just adorable! It was awesome to be able to be a part of it!

Who am I?

Good question! I am a woman who is married to my high school sweetheart. Richard and I are working on 19 years of marriage and have two great kids- Cody and Kensey Rae. They are surely a reminder that God's blessings flow from heaven above! I am a woman who desires to have it all together, but rarely does. I love to spend time with family and friends and find that my favorite memories are those that are just simple days of being together. Over the last year I have discovered that maybe God is in more control than I am- who would have thought? I have also discovered that apparently I am becoming my mother, and that I tend to lose my sunglasses that are on my head and the keys that I am carrying around in my hand. Contentment is a good thing and something I needed to learn and simple isn't all that bad. I have a faithful Lord who has in my life--carried me, held me, walked with me, chased me down, comforted me, blessed me, disciplined me, forgiven me, gave me "the look", cried for me, cried with me, laughed with me, listened to me, taught me, fought for me, and loved me. Thank you Jesus, for just being you.

I am certain I didn't do a thing to deserve this blessed life, but I am so thankful I have it!
